While I have not been to the Harbor House, I have not had any reason to foolishly spend my money. Every person that I know who has been there, told me not to waste my time and they have good food taste.

We've had several excellent meals at Harbor House: the fresh oysters, the Branzino and the seafood pot pie were all delicious. It is not a place for a cheap meal though, as is true for most of the places on this list.

Carol Deptolla has a voice made for newspaper. I think that a warning should precede any report of hers played on radio. "Caution - the voice following may cause you to go to sleep. If you are driving, stop immediately or turn your radio off now."

Far TOO MUCH BARTOLOTTA BIAS in this list. Granted, their restaurants are very good, but to have 20% of the total list is ridiculous, especially the Rumpus Room. Mason Street Grill is a far better restaurant. So is North Star American Bistro. So is Eddie Martini's. Almost looks like the reporter is on Joe B's payroll. Had either Joey Gerard's made list, that would have confirmed it.

Have to disagree with Maxie's. Took some business associates there a while back, Tuesday evening at opening. We were rushed in and out in less than an hour. The bill was plopped on the table before we were asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. We ordered drinks, apps, entrees and coffee/dessert. It seemed the house management was intent on turning their tables and it made for a rather stressful and unimpressive meal. I was actually embarrassed. Given they do not take reservations, not worth waiting for a table.

I would like to hear/see everyone's list of the BEST restaurants of Milwaukee both PAST & PRESENT...even those of 50 years ago etc. Just for fun! There are many GREAT local restaurants that I for one greatly miss. I'm sure other have their list as well. Carol what are yours?

Interesting, the "take this restaurant off the list, put this one on" response. Why would you remove the 'Ethiopian restaurant,' because of the dining experience, food quality, location, service, or because you simply don't hold a preference to Ethiopian cuisine?
